I see BBC is going to go ahead with 3Dtv broadcast ,But there a problem there as the head of the BBC-3D says that he has no plans to bring it to the British public at all ,But he want to bring it to Foreign broadcasters instead . What a waste i say with all the 3Dtvs sold here & UK.
And to say what ever body is saying in the UK that the BBC can't even produce a good Hi-Def channel let along a 3D channel. I see they are opening a new channel next week called BBC ONE HD.Other news is Sky buying over other provider channel & then closing them down as well & i see SKY acquired some of virgin channels > Channel one & Bravo channels to be shut down by Sky & what Sky is up to is to buy most of the better channel from other providers close them down and open as a new channel as PVV.
More news is irish terrestial tv digital to start on 31 October. Good reception areas would have a free service as more come on line here , i think RTE will have their boxes as well to buy ,but i say they might have a card to use later on with the boxes not yet.have to wait & see on that. that all for now
